They let your grandma die alone but threw a massive funeral for the Queen.

They threatened you with jail for visiting your family.

They told us hospitals were overflowing, yet nurses had time for TikTok dances.

They closed churches but left liquor stores, strip clubs, and casinos open.

They locked you in your home for months.

They arrested people for walking alone on the beach.

They shut down small businesses while Walmart and Amazon thrived.

They forced children to eat outside in the cold, masked and distanced.

They fired doctors and nurses who refused the jab while calling it a healthcare crisis.

They forced toddlers to mask but let celebrities go mask-free at award shows.

They told people to wear two masks, because one just wasn’t enough.

They called you selfish for wanting to make your own medical choices.

They refused organ transplants to people who didn’t get injected.

They told people to have s3x with masks on or to use “glory holes” to “stop the spread.”

They put arrows on supermarket floors to control “safe” walking directions.

They censored and banned medical professionals for saying what’s now considered basic fact.

They banned unvaccinated people from getting haircuts but let convicted felons get them in prison.

They claimed the unvaccinated were the problem, but then said the vaccine doesn’t stop transmission.

They silenced scientists while pushing Pfizer propaganda.

They banned people from using cash because the virus “lives on surfaces”, but let them use the same credit card machine as everyone else.

They demanded a QR code just to buy food.

They said you deserved to die if you didn’t comply.

They locked playgrounds with police tape, while letting massive Hollywood film productions continue.

They told you your body, your choice, unless it was about an experimental shot.

They called for camps for the unvaccinated.

They told you the vaccine works, but only if everyone else takes it too.

They bribed people with free donuts, burgers, and fries to get injected, while claiming to care about public health.

They made you sit down in a restaurant to “stop the virus”, but standing up was apparently dangerous.

They put curfews in place as if COVID only spread after 8 PM.

They threatened jail time for walking in the park, but rioters and protesters were immune to the virus.

They rewrote history and pretended none of this happened.

And now, they’re telling me to move on and forget about the TYRANNY…

NO AMNESTY. NO FORGIVENESS. ONLY JUSTICE.

I was a lifelong Democrat. I thought most conservatives were ignorant or evil or lying. I believed almost everything written in the New York Times, The New Republic, and the Atlantic. I was horrified when conservatives criticized the authorities. Every criticism I saw: I thought all of it was motivated by animus, resentment, self-interest, or ignorance. Whatever truth there might have been in the criticism, I saw as a mere “half-truth”: an exploitation of this or that cherrypicked fact being weaponized. Why did I see it in terms of weaponization? Because I was biased: I saw liberal establishment institutions and figures as fundamentally good, so all criticism of them was automatically interpreted as being in bad faith. Didn’t the critics know that these institutions or figures were fundamentally good? If they didn’t, they were ignorant. If they did, they were evil. It was that simple.

This meant that any legitimate criticisms would just be dismissed, as if bouncing off of an impenetrable bulletproof shield. This all changed once I started writing about the pandemic. Soon people started talking about me the way I once thought about conservatives. This led to a complete identity collapse as I came to understand that my old worldview was hateful and ignorant, that I hadn’t understood what I had been judging.

I cannot forget the hearing that led to my dismissal from medical school a year after I started writing. During the hearing, people talked about me as if I wasn’t human. My behavior was interpreted in the worst possible light. Complete fabrications were created. Nobody was concerned with the truth, only horrified at my apparent “unprofessional behavior”, which was really a mirror of their unprofessional behavior directed at me.

They structured the hearing to make it virtually impossible for me to speak and explain that what was being said was a lie. And nobody seemed to have any problem with this. Why? Because I was bad. If I am bad, then every mistreatment and every violation of the school’s own policies became justified. A person who is bad does not deserve any rights. They only deserve punishment.

But the thing I remember most was the allusions to my social media activity. They said, “Kevin is driven by resentment from his childhood.” I wasn’t. I was on good terms with my parents. They alleged that I needed psychotherapy to deal with this trauma. It was a completely fake story that they had constructed about me, to demean me, to marginalize me, to try to explain the views I had expressed: that something terribly wrong had happened during the pandemic.

They couldn’t imagine that I might have legitimate points. So they reduced me to the same kinds of psychological caricatures that I once reduced conservatives to in my own mind. When I was dismissed, I was broken. But I had help from friends who helped me understand what happened. And I came to realize that a hysteria had overtaken the left. I spent a lot of time reading about show trials, about witch trials, and so on. I also connected with people who had experienced similar things and came to realize that something similar had happened to hundreds of physicians around the country. My story wasn’t unique. It was all the same story over and over again.

I cannot believe the person I once was. I cannot believe that I could exist like that. I still don’t understand how I could be like that, or how millions of people in this country could continue being like that. It disturbs me greatly. One thing I know is that whatever this thing is that is driving people crazy needs to be destroyed. It is hostile to civilization and to our humanity. It causes us to dehumanize each other and try to destroy each other. It is the very same monstrous thing that I once attributed to conservatives. But it had been inside me, and I could now see it inside others. This is something I still grapple with.
